...when you have two powerful computers folding 24/7. At least it’s down a degree from its max.

This is mine 1 computer running full tilt. The top temp is room temp the bottom is intake temp infront of the computer.

You’re making me a little jealous with those temps. Back in winter I wouldn’t have minded the room being so toasty, but these days I could do without the heat. If the computer was on the other side of the room I’d contemplate ducting some of the heat out of the window, but for the time being I’ll just fire up the window A/C instead of cooling the entire house with the central.

My office hovers between 78 and 80. I have a floor fan that circulates the air in the room so I don’t suffocate. Of course, that’s how convection ovens work too....

I usually let my indoor temp get to 80 before I stress test the AC. I stress tested on Sunday and my AC broke. I won’t be able to fix it until this weekend. We’re getting to 86 during the day, but down into the 70s at night. Pretty comfortable for us, but it’s only getting to about 100 outside during the day. Really thankful to the mesquite I planted out front and the lemon I planted out back.

I can normally stand a higher indoor temp, but sitting right between these two computers has made that a little more challenging. I moved out to the midwest a few years back I didn’t think I’d need my window A/C unit so I sold it before the move, and then found that the electric bill for just moderate usage of central A/C was astronomic. I then bought another window A/C unit, and most of the time I just use that because I don’t see the point in cooling (or heating, in winter) the whole house when I’m only using one room. If other people lived here with me it might be a different story.

You’re heat is a bit different than ours. We have very little humidity. I can go on day long hikes up to about 105. Plus it gets into the 60s at night. When it gets bad here is when it’s 110+ for weeks on end and the asphalt gets so hot that it only cools to 95 at night.

Yeah, it gets freakin’ humid out here. I miss my old place in Los Angeles, two miles from the ocean. I could control them temp year round by opening a window or two. No need for the heater, and the A/C was rarely used.
You’re in NM, right? I passed through on my way to MO and really fell in love with the place. I wasn’t really a desert person, but found NM to be simply stunning and can’t wait to go back for a visit.
I’m reminded of a time when I had to go to Vegas for some training. It was in October and the temps were around 80. You could really tell who the natives were when we went out for a break - they were the ones with their jackets on, shivering...

I’m in AZ, but same sort of deal except NM has more high deserts than us. Best of both worlds, cold and snow in the winter, blistering heat in the summer.
